The attacker, Somali refugee Abdul Razak Ali Artan, was shot and killed by the first responding OSU police officer, and 13 people were hospitalized for injuries. Authorities began investigating the possibility of the attack being an act of terrorism. On the next day, law enforcement officials stated that Artan was inspired by terrorist propaganda from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the late radical Muslim cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki. The Amaq News Agency released a statement claiming the attacker responded to an ISIL call to attack coalition citizens, though there is no evidence of direct contact between the group and Artan. Background There had been high concerns from federal law enforcement officials about car ramming and stabbing attacks being encouraged by online extremist propaganda due to the relative ease of committing them compared to bombings. In the weeks prior to the incident, ISIL had been urging its followers to copy a car ramming attack in Nice, France, that killed 86 people.https://abc7chicago.com/news/officials-investigating-anti-us-facebook-rant-believed-linked-to-osu-attacker/1629153/ Officials Investigating Anti-US Facebook Rant Believed Linked to OSU Attacker WLS-TV November 28, 2016 November 28, 2016 The attack comes as the ISIS terror group has been urging its followers in recent weeks to copy the vehicle attack that took place in Nice, France, when 84 people were killed by a terrorist driving a semi-truck through a Bastille Day celebration. https://web.archive.org/web/20161129144252/https://abc7chicago.com/news/officials-investigating-anti-us-facebook-rant-believed-linked-to-osu-attacker/1629153/ November 29, 2016 live mdy-all Earlier that year in February, a man attacked patrons at the Nazareth Restaurant in Columbus, wounding four before being shot and killed by responding police officers.

Both incidents were investigated as possible acts of terrorism.http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/public/2016/osu-attack/fbi-local-law-officers-sorting-out-ohio-state-attackers-tie-to-isis-victims-names-released.html FBI, local officers sorting out Ohio State attacker's tie to ISIS; victims' names released The Columbus Dispatch November 30, 2016 November 30, 2016 Beth Burger https://web.archive.org/web/20161201033225/http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/public/2016/osu-attack/fbi-local-law-officers-sorting-out-ohio-state-attackers-tie-to-isis-victims-names-released.html December 1, 2016 live mdy-allhttp://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/public/2016/osu-attack/ohio-state-attack-terrorism-cases-in-central-ohio.html Terrorism cases from the past 12 years in central Ohio The Columbus Dispatch November 30, 2016 November 30, 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20161202125514/http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/public/2016/osu-attack/ohio-state-attack-terrorism-cases-in-central-ohio.html December 2, 2016 live mdy-all There had also been a number of recently foiled ISIL-inspired terror plots or intents to travel to the Middle East to fight for ISIL, in which the perpetrators all originated from Ohio.https://www.yahoo.com/news/campus-attack-could-latest-terror-case-heartland-state-143322874.html?ref=gs Campus attack could be latest terror case in heartland state Yahoo!
